BIO

The Elgin National Watch Company, commonly known as Elgin Watch Company, was a major US watch maker from 1864 to 1968. The company sold watches under the names Elgin, Lord Elgin, and Lady Elgin. For nearly 100 years the company's manufacturing complex in Elgin, Illinois, was the largest site dedicated to watchmaking in the world. During World War II all civilian manufacturing was halted and the company moved into the defence industry, manufacturing military watches, chronometers, fuses for artillery shells, altimeters and other aircraft instruments and sapphire bearings used for aiming cannons. All US manufacturing was discontinued in 1968 and manufacturing ended. A good sized dial for modern day use, originally as a dress watch but works equally well for day wear for the dapper gentleman out there. This watch is in remarkable condition for it's age, 90 odd years and no scratching to the glass crystal, no wear through to back plate. This watch has just been fully and professionally serviced so will serve the new owner for many years again. FREE UK delivery, sent in a gift presentation box.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Art Deco wrist watches from the 1920s and 1930s typically feature geometric case shapes, such as square, tonneau, or cushion forms, alongside bold typography for numerals and precious materials like white gold or platinum.

During the 1930s, Elgin frequently utilised 14k white or yellow gold, gold-filled alloys, and sterling silver for watch cases, paired with mechanical hand-wound movements and leather straps.

Authentic pieces feature manufacturer hallmarks and serial numbers stamped inside the watch case back or on the movement, alongside period-correct typography and crisp dial sub-second register markings.

An Art Deco dress watch pairs well with formal tailoring or smart-casual wear, adding a subtle touch of vintage character and historical craftsmanship to modern wristwear.

Mechanical watches require servicing by a specialist horologist every three to five years, and should be kept away from moisture, magnetic fields, and extreme temperature shifts.
